An apparatus for making a color proof having an exposure portion for exposing an image of the original onto a photosensitive material and a processor portion for processing the exposed photosensitive material. The apparatus has a transfer portion for transferring the photosensitive material from the exposure portion to the processor portion, which has a first pair of rollers for feeding the photosensitive material disposed adjacent to the photosensitive material delivery side of the platen portion, a second pair of rollers disposed adjacent to the photosensitive material inlet side of the processor portion at the transfer portion and a guide member for guiding transferring of the photosensitive material from said first pair to said second pair. Also, a sensor is disposed downstream in the feeding direction of said second pair of rollers for sensing the presence of the photosensitive material and a control unit is provided for controlling driving of said first and second pairs of rollers so as to rotate them at equal speeds while controlling driving of the pair of rollers so as to reduce the rotating speed of the second pair of rollers when the presence of the photosensitive material is sensed by said sensor. When the tip end of the photosensitive material is sensed by the sensor, the rotating speed of the second pair of rollers is reduced so as to coincide with the processing speed of the processor portion with the result that transferring of the photosensitive material from the exposure portion to the processor portion is smoothly carried out.

An apparatus for making a color proof. An original loading portion having a loading opening provided for loading the original is disposed side by side at an exposure portion so that a carriage may be substantially horizontally moved between the exposure position of the exposure portion and the copy exchange position of corresponding to the loading opening. When the original is exchanged and recharged, the loading opening is open by a lid member and when the carriage is positioned to the copy exchange position, the original is placed. Since the exposure portion and the like are not disposed upwardly of the original loading portion, the exposure unit and the like are not mounted with the result that the lid member can be made compact and lightweight while exchange of the original can be eased. In addition, the carriage is not withdrawn into the working space allowed for the operators.

An apparatus for feed-in and ejection of a chemical analysis slide comprises an incubator having compartments for housing chemical analysis slides placed side by side in a transverse direction. The compartments have inlet openings formed along a rear end face of the incubator, and outlet opening formed along a front end face thereof. A conveying device conveys the chemical analysis slide to a position facing one of the inlet openings, and a slide feed-in device, provided with slide feed-in protrusions facing the inlet openings, extends along the rear end face of the incubator. One of the slide feed-in protrusions is caused by forward movement of the slide feed-in device, to contact a rear edge of the chemical analysis slide conveyed to the position facing the inlet opening and to feed the chemical analysis slide into the compartment. The chemical analysis slide which has previously been housed in the compartment is pushed and ejected out of the compartment by the chemical analysis slide which is thus fed by the slide feed-in protrusion into the compartment.

A separate-exposure photographing apparatus including an image display unit for displaying an image to be photographed. A projection optical system projects and focuses the image displayed on the image display unit onto a film. The projection optical system has a reflecting mirror therein, and the image display unit is horizontally movable. A film feeder mechanism feeds the film and is capable of feeding the film in a vertical direction.

Separate-exposure photographing apparatus

A multiple image photographing apparatus in which images of different sizes can be formed on a single film sheet. A television monitor is movably mounted in a horizontal direction, while a film holding and conveying mechanism is movably mounted in a vertical direction. The amount of movements of the monitor and the film conveying and holding mechanism are determined in accordance with the selected photographing magnification. An auxiliary lens, which is mounted on a lens holder which moves along with the TV monitor, is selectively movable in and out of the optical path in accordance with the selected photographing magnification.

Multiple image type photographing apparatus

An X-ray photography cassette incorporating an automatic peeler for removing the film from the cassette. The cassette includes a frame and a front plate mounted on the frame and with a rear cover coupled to the frame through hinges. Intensifying screens are positioned adjacent the front and rear cover. A peeling member is elastically coupled to one of the frame or rear cover and extending into a recess or cut-out portion formed in the intensifying screen. A space is provided between the peeling member and the other intensifying screen for receiving the film.

X-Ray photography cassette

Method and apparatus for handling photosensitive sheets in which the photosensitive sheets to be processed drop by force of gravity upon the opening of a cassette which held the sheets. The sheets thus dropped are delivered to a retaining position, which is shielded from light, at a speed higher than the normal conveyance speed in an automatic developing machine which subsequently processes the sheets. Thereafter, the sheets are delivered to the automatic developing machine from the retaining position. The difference is determined between the delivering speed and the conveyance speed in the automatic developing machine. The driving of the delivering device is suspended when the curvature of the photosensitive sheet is beyond the predetermined value as determined by the difference.
